See issue #31. In systems with a newer version of libusb (1.0.24 onwards), GCC raises a warning that the packed attribute is unnecessary for `libusb_control_setup`. This is not really a problem for libx52, since it doesn't call libusb_control_setup directly, but since the libx52 build framework treats all warnings as errors by default, it will prevent the build from working. This change removes the -Wpacked flag from AX_COMPILER_FLAGS, and this should let the build pass without any issues. |

Saitek X52Pro joystick driver for Linux
This project adds a new driver for the Saitek/MadCatz X52 Pro flight control system. The X52 pro is a HOTAS (hand on throttle and stick) with 7 axes, 39 buttons, 1 hat and 1 thumbstick and a multi-function display which is programmable.
Currently, only Windows drivers are available from Saitek PLC, which led me to develop a new Linux driver which can program the MFD and the individual LEDs on the joystick. The standard usbhid driver is capable of reading the joystick, but it cannot control the MFD or LEDs.
Most of the extra functionality can be handled from userspace. See the individual folders for README information.
Note: This repository currently only provides commandline interfaces to control the MFD and LEDs. If you are not comfortable working in the commandline, then the gx52 project might be a better fit for your needs as it provides a graphical interface to control the MFD and LEDs.
